For some people the right to keep and bear arms is a good thing not a bad thing.
I think the bigger problem is not that armed people are everywhere, but that violent crime is common...
Yes a world where crackheads can legally carry guns will definitely not lead to violence.
You think a crackhead gives one single fuck what they are legally allowed to do?
The crackhead is gonna have a gun whether it's legal or not (or maybe they'll sell it for more crack). The gangster that sells them the crack is DEFINITELY gonna have a gun. Laws have no effect on the lawless.
The question though is you. When you encounter the violent crackhead, do YOU want to have a gun?
Damn it's crazy that you say that despite there being dozens of countries where crackheads just don't have guns.
